Cornelius POV

"Oh come on Niks, I think I'll have to sit this one out. I don't do well with rich snobby folks," I complained taking another lane as the green traffic light changed to amber.

"Do you hear yourself right now?"

"You know what I mean, Niks. I won't fit in"

"Cornelius Powers you better attend my show or else..."

"Niks? Krrrrrkrrrrr. Niks. I'm losing you...I can't hear you krrrrrkrrrrrkrr"

And I hung up, I'm sure Nicole would get the message eventually. Attending my cousin's show all the way in Vegas wasn't in my agenda. After we laid dad to rest,I wanted to be far way from my family as possible. With dad gone, I knew very well that they would try to console me, try to make me feel alright when nothing was alright to begin with.

I needed space. I needed time to process that the man I had tried so hard to impress was gone. I needed time to process that I was on my own from now on.

It was me and me alone.

I took the lane down Mane Street thinking of it as the fastest way to get to my company by avoiding traffic. The drive was smooth, I knew that within half an hour I would be back at my office swinging in my swivel chair as Bosco laid down the agenda for the day.

But...but I spoke too soon.

Infront of me was a black SUV, with the owner kicking one of the rear tyres with her sharp five inch heel. I contemplated whether I would stop to help or drive away just like the rest of the cars did. Come to think of it, why would I help a woman who smashed my balls not once but twice?! She smashed my balls twice. Twice I tell you!

One with her foot at a Met Gala and the other one she actually smashed my balls with a baseball bat inside my office during an interview. Just the mere thought of those two occurrences made me shudder. Or how about the time she splashed vodka on my face, my eyes stung like the Dickens!

By the time I was done thinking about that, I had already stopped my car observing the woman in the navy blue skirt and polka dot blouse. The face might have covered her devil face but I knew her. Lydia Hayden was a monster in the making. The devil's daughter. Satan's little helper. The reincarnation of Beelzebul inform of a woman.

And no I was not being spiteful but honest. I understand we had a rocky start, she found me pleasuring her boyfriend but so what? That's why the phrase 'forgive and forget' was introduced right? You just forgive and then forget. But she...she had never forgiven me and it's been two freaking years already.

Sighing I got out of my car.

'I am so gonna regret this'

Putting up my fakest smile I approached her from behind.

"Ms, do you need any help?"

She turned to me, her eyes that were earlier gleaming with worry filled with unbelievable fury.

"You? I don't need your help!" she said coldly and I bent down examining her flat tyre.

"You've got a flat tyre,"I said casually ignoring her icy eyes.

"Look at me,"she started and I stared,"Am I missing an eye? Or better yet am I missing both eyes? Do I look like Blind Bartimaeus to you? If you came to state the obvious then you can leave"

And here we go again. 

"So you do need help?" I asked trying to calm myself down.

"I do I really do but if it's coming for you, I better wait for Jerry to show up"

Oh brother. This was what I was talking about. The woman was so bitter, so cold that even breathing the same air she was, made me contagious of her bitterness.

I scrunched my nose in disgust walking away from her.

"When your car gets fixed you better visit the candy store. You'll need a whole bucket of candy to fix your bitter personality. It's not a insult sweetheart, take it as a piece of advice" And with that I walked away.

Well at least I tried before she blocked my path.

"Excuse me! You...you piece of..." She stopped her eyes catching glimpse of something behind me.

"Oh my God. Umm... kiss me! Kiss me now" she squeaked.

Umm... Was that an insult? Why was her hands on my neck? Why was she getting closer to my body that I could smell her Lavender perfume?

"Are you bipolar or something. Back up. There's no way in hell I'm kissing you"

"Believe you me I'm not thrilled with this either,"she said and before I could protest further her lips smashed mine.

My eyes bulged out in surprise, my lips tried to part from hers but she held me captive to whatever wormhole she was pulling me into. I was kissing Lydia Hayden. I was kissing Lydia Hayden? Technically she was kissing me.

"Dia, is that you Dia?"

And she parted from our kiss, leaving a confused me to stand next to her.

"Bob, I didn't know you were in town" she smiled but that statement was so fake that even this Bob guy must have known.

The guy Bob didn't seem like much but I could see it in his face that seeing me with her must have cut him deep.

"Well. It's LA who doesn't like LA?" He gushed and the woman next to me smiled clinging to my biceps.

Was I missing something?

"Ooh, I almost forgot this is Justin. Justin- Robert Sanders. Robert - Justin"

I had a question, who was Justin? And why was she gesturing towards me everytime she said Justin?

    ZADE"Wait, wait, wait. The woman you've been seeing has amnesia, a kid, a boyfriend and now she has miraculously gotten her memories back? Forgive me for laughing but you were never cut out for love. Wait and dad disowned you? Seems like you have yourself caught up in a jam bro", Sawyer's voice came from the other end of the line as I carried my duffle bag into my truck looking at the mansion one more time.I sure as hell wasn't going to miss this place in the least bit.I hit the road and with Sawyer at the end of the line maybe the way to the airport wouldn't be that bad.I needed someone asshole talking to me about my mistakes so that they could dim out everything I felt at the moment.The fire station was going to be constructed under the supervision of Falcon, a man I had no doubts was more than capable especially after I had ensured everything was in order before I left.While I was going back to San Francisco a couple million dollars poorer well I had done what needed to be do

    CLAIREZade was back and he was standing in my living room gazing at me as well as the other pairs of eyes that did.A ginger haired woman with two kids stood by the corner with her husband who still couldn't drop that look of I think I've seen a ghost.There was another blonde woman with the same same look...then another woman...then Zade, my parents and then him and everything didn't make sense.I opened my mouth to say something but the words wouldn't force themselves out as I looked at the man who stared at me the way Zade did.Like I was his entire world.Like I meant a lot more than I knew. And I especially couldn't breathe when I realized he looked exactly like Axel.Axel's father.But why was he staring at me like this was his first time doing so? Like he couldn't believe I was standing in front of him and Axel either.I didn't want to cry.Axel was in his room if he had heard any noise he would start making a ruckus and God knew I wasn't in the right mind to calm him down be

It had started as some sort of thing between me and Javi.I had saved him. Against my butter judgement I had saved him from the Gatos earning a week in solitary.

    ZADEWhen I saw her the only thing i had thought about was how much fun I would have taking off that dress of her body and kissing every inch of her skin till I had enough of her.And when I had gifted the kid a saber plastic sword and he had hugged me I had wanted him to be part of my life too.I wanted both of them to be in my life and yet funny how life was a bitch waiting for the right moment to strike.The Smith sisters and other women getting too clingy for me to bear, I had gone upstairs.I loved attention. Attention from women but the only attention I needed at the moment was from the woman who's heart had swelled the minute her son cut the cake and took a fist of the cake before anyone could get a slice.On my way to Claire's room, I had almost stumbled to Vienna Smith which prompted me to hide in the next room.The next room didn't get any better when I heard the footsteps coming my way with so much urgency I had to hide.An unfortunately for me the only hide-able place arou

    CLAIRE "Your skin is glowing", Riley commented, I hid behind the comment by trying to seem busy with the ingredients laid in front of me."Must be the new serum you got from the market the other day", Vienna Smith added taking another balloon in her hand.I preferred to remain silent for lack of a better lie to come up with. I couldn't just tell them that he you guys know what? I've been sleeping with Zade Cutler since last week and I've been fucking enjoy it.We've fucked in my own shop at the old observatory that's near completion, in his car and ooh did I mention he has a cabin just for us?If the that didn't shock them, then definitely telling them that I had been reckless enough with Zade not to use protection definitely would.Plus I wanted Zade and I to be a secret. If anyone got news of our relationship then people would talk and even if I wasn't majorly dependent on what people said for me to exist, I still didn't want the town to pressure me into something I didn't want.I

    ZADEShe regretted it. If the empty space next to me didn't say so then I didn't know what did.Part of me still mad that she had gone without as much as leaving a note, the other part of me was still reliving what happened last night over and over again like it was all a dream I had woken up from.I fucked women ofcourse I had fucked them but what Claire and I had was way beyond fucking.Her moans, me grunting, her pussy against my dick and the feel of it. Damn it was like a vise grip holding me tight rendering me weak until using protection flew out my mind the minute I kissed her.Some part of me know she might have regretted it, the part that had decided to call it to a halt when I realized we might have gone too far but leave it to my dick, the one thing that had led me where I was at that moment to make a rash decision.But I didn't regret it. I would never regret it because it might have been the best might of my life and I was not joking when I said that.Come to think of it,
